Programs & Examples On #Picasa

Picasa and Picasa Web Albums are both discontinued image organizers and image viewers. They were free to use, only a registered Google user was needed (Gmail or Google Apps). It let you manage pictures, categorize, tag and edit them and could synchronize them between the offline and online locations.

How do I find out if a column exists in a VB.Net DataRow

DataRow's are nice in the way that they have their underlying table linked to them. With the underlying table you can verify that a specific row has a specific column in it.

    If DataRow.Table.Columns.Contains("column") Then
        MsgBox("YAY")
    End If

How to update two tables in one statement in SQL Server 2005?

It is as simple as this query shown below.

UPDATE 
  Table1 T1 join Table2 T2 on T1.id = T2.id
SET 
  T1.LastName='DR. XXXXXX', 
  T2.WAprrs='start,stop'
WHERE 
  T1.id = '010008'

How do I iterate through lines in an external file with shell?

You'll be wanting to use the 'read' command

while read name
do
    echo "$name"
done < names.txt

Note that "$name" is quoted -- if it's not, it will be split using the characters in $IFS as delimiters. This probably won't be noticed if you're just echoing the variable, but if your file contains a list of file names which you want to copy, those will get broken down by $IFS if the variable is unquoted, which is not what you want or expect.

If you want to use Mike Clark's approach (loading into a variable rather than using read), you can do it without the use of cat:

NAMES="$(< scripts/names.txt)" #names from names.txt file
for NAME in $NAMES; do
    echo "$NAME"
done

The problem with this is that it loads the whole file into $NAMES, when you read it back out, you can either get the whole file (if quoted) or the file broken down by $IFS, if not quoted. By default, this will give you individual words, not individual lines. So if the name "Mary Jane" appeared on a line, you would get "Mary" and "Jane" as two separate names. Using read will get around this... although you could also change the value of $IFS

What is the difference between const and readonly in C#?

A const is a compile-time constant whereas readonly allows a value to be calculated at run-time and set in the constructor or field initializer. So, a 'const' is always constant but 'readonly' is read-only once it is assigned.

Eric Lippert of the C# team has more information on different types of immutability.

Change NULL values in Datetime format to empty string

Try to use the function DECODE

Ex: Decode(MYDATE, NULL, ' ', MYDATE)

If date is NULL then display ' ' (BLANK) else display the date.

Get text of the selected option with jQuery

Change your selector to

val = j$("#select_2 option:selected").text();

You're selecting the <select> instead of the <option>

Fastest way to duplicate an array in JavaScript - slice vs. 'for' loop

If you want a REAL cloned object/array in JS with cloned references of all attributes and sub-objects:

export function clone(arr) {
    return JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(arr))
}

ALL other operations do not create clones, because they just change the base address of the root element, not of the included objects.

Except you traverse recursive through the object-tree.

For a simple copy, these are OK. For storage address relevant operations I suggest (and in most all other cases, because this is fast!) to type convert into string and back in a complete new object.

ant build.xml file doesn't exist

You should use ant -version command instead.
The -v option is equivalent of -verbose option.

How to show an empty view with a RecyclerView?

RVEmptyObserver

Instead of using a custom RecyclerView, extending an AdapterDataObserver is a simpler solution that allows setting a custom View that is displayed when there are no items in the list:

Example Usage:

RVEmptyObserver observer = new RVEmptyObserver(recyclerView, emptyView)
rvAdapter.registerAdapterDataObserver(observer);

Class:

public class RVEmptyObserver extends RecyclerView.AdapterDataObserver {
    private View emptyView;
    private RecyclerView recyclerView;

    public RVEmptyObserver(RecyclerView rv, View ev) {
        this.recyclerView = rv;
        this.emptyView    = ev;
        checkIfEmpty();
    }

    private void checkIfEmpty() {
        if (emptyView != null && recyclerView.getAdapter() != null) {
            boolean emptyViewVisible = recyclerView.getAdapter().getItemCount() == 0;
            emptyView.setVisibility(emptyViewVisible ? View.VISIBLE : View.GONE);
            recyclerView.setVisibility(emptyViewVisible ? View.GONE : View.VISIBLE);
        }
    }

    public void onChanged() { checkIfEmpty(); }
    public void onItemRangeInserted(int positionStart, int itemCount) { checkIfEmpty(); }
    public void onItemRangeRemoved(int positionStart, int itemCount) { checkIfEmpty(); }
}

Jquery click event not working after append method

TRY THIS

As of jQuery version 1.7+, the on() method is the new replacement for the bind(), live() and delegate() methods.

SO ADD THIS,

$(document).on("click", "a.new_participant_form" , function() {
      console.log('clicked');
});

Difference between string and char[] types in C++

One of the difference is Null termination (\0).

In C and C++, char* or char[] will take a pointer to a single char as a parameter and will track along the memory until a 0 memory value is reached (often called the null terminator).

C++ strings can contain embedded \0 characters, know their length without counting.

#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<iostream>

using namespace std;

void NullTerminatedString(string str){
   int NUll_term = 3;
   str[NUll_term] = '\0';       // specific character is kept as NULL in string
   cout << str << endl <<endl <<endl;
}

void NullTerminatedChar(char *str){
   int NUll_term = 3;
   str[NUll_term] = 0;     // from specific, all the character are removed 
   cout << str << endl;
}

int main(){
  string str = "Feels Happy";
  printf("string = %s\n", str.c_str());
  printf("strlen = %d\n", strlen(str.c_str()));  
  printf("size = %d\n", str.size());  
  printf("sizeof = %d\n", sizeof(str)); // sizeof std::string class  and compiler dependent
  NullTerminatedString(str);


  char str1[12] = "Feels Happy";
  printf("char[] = %s\n", str1);
  printf("strlen = %d\n", strlen(str1));
  printf("sizeof = %d\n", sizeof(str1));    // sizeof char array
  NullTerminatedChar(str1);
  return 0;
}

Output:

strlen = 11
size = 11
sizeof = 32  
Fee s Happy


strlen = 11
sizeof = 12
Fee

MySQL select statement with CASE or IF ELSEIF? Not sure how to get the result

Error when creating a new text file with python?

If the file does not exists, open(name,'r+') will fail.

You can use open(name, 'w'), which creates the file if the file does not exist, but it will truncate the existing file.

Alternatively, you can use open(name, 'a'); this will create the file if the file does not exist, but will not truncate the existing file.

How do I format a number with commas in T-SQL?

For SQL Server before 2012 which does not include the FORMAT function, create this function:

CREATE FUNCTION FormatCurrency(@value numeric(30,2))
    RETURNS varchar(50)
    AS
    BEGIN
        DECLARE @NumAsChar VARCHAR(50)
        SET @NumAsChar = '$' + CONVERT(varchar(50), CAST(@Value AS money),1)
        RETURN @NumAsChar
    END 

select dbo.FormatCurrency(12345678) returns $12,345,678.00

Drop the $ if you just want commas.

Set the selected index of a Dropdown using jQuery

How can I wait for a thread to finish with .NET?

When I want the UI to be able to update its display while waiting for a task to complete, I use a while-loop that tests IsAlive on the thread:

    Thread t = new Thread(() => someMethod(parameters));
    t.Start();
    while (t.IsAlive)
    {
        Thread.Sleep(500);
        Application.DoEvents();
    }

Is it possible to set transparency in CSS3 box-shadow?

I suppose rgba() would work here. After all, browser support for both box-shadow and rgba() is roughly the same.

/* 50% black box shadow */
box-shadow: 10px 10px 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);

How can I view the shared preferences file using Android Studio?

You could simply create a special Activity for debugging purpose:

@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public void loadPreferences() {
// create a textview with id (tv_pref) in Layout.
TextView prefTextView;
prefTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.tv_pref);
    Map<String, ?> prefs = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(
            context).getAll();
    for (String key : prefs.keySet()) {
        Object pref = prefs.get(key);
        String printVal = "";
        if (pref instanceof Boolean) {
            printVal =  key + " : " + (Boolean) pref;
        }
        if (pref instanceof Float) {
            printVal =  key + " : " + (Float) pref;
        }
        if (pref instanceof Integer) {
            printVal =  key + " : " + (Integer) pref;
        }
        if (pref instanceof Long) {
            printVal =  key + " : " + (Long) pref;
        }
        if (pref instanceof String) {
            printVal =  key + " : " + (String) pref;
        }
        if (pref instanceof Set<?>) {
            printVal =  key + " : " + (Set<String>) pref;
        }
        // Every new preference goes to a new line
        prefTextView.append(printVal + "\n\n");     
    }
}
// call loadPreferences() in the onCreate of your Activity.

In my case, clearing caché didn't work.

On SDK Manager, be sure to check the box on "show package descriptions"; then you should also select the "Google APIs" for the version you are willing to install.

Install it and then you should be ok

Read a plain text file with php

You can also produce array by using file:

$array = file('/path/to/text.txt');

set date in input type date

to me the shortest way to solve this problem is to use moment.js and solve this problem in just 2 lines.

var today = moment().format('YYYY-MM-DD');
$('#datePicker').val(today);

Regular expression for a string that does not start with a sequence

You could use a negative look-ahead assertion:

^(?!tbd_).+

Or a negative look-behind assertion:

(^.{1,3}$|^.{4}(?<!tbd_).*)

Or just plain old character sets and alternations:

^([^t]|t($|[^b]|b($|[^d]|d($|[^_])))).*

Create a copy of a table within the same database DB2

Try this:

CREATE TABLE SCHEMA.NEW_TB LIKE SCHEMA.OLD_TB;
INSERT INTO SCHEMA.NEW_TB (SELECT * FROM SCHEMA.OLD_TB);

Options that are not copied include:

  • Check constraints
  • Column default values
  • Column comments
  • Foreign keys
  • Logged and compact option on BLOB columns
  • Distinct types

How to get the Mongo database specified in connection string in C#

The answer below is apparently obsolete now, but works with older drivers. See comments.

How can I make a JUnit test wait?

You can use java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit library which internally uses Thread.sleep. The syntax should look like this :

@Test
public void testExipres(){
    SomeCacheObject sco = new SomeCacheObject();
    sco.putWithExipration("foo", 1000);

    TimeUnit.MINUTES.sleep(2);

    assertNull(sco.getIfNotExipred("foo"));
}

This library provides more clear interpretation for time unit. You can use 'HOURS'/'MINUTES'/'SECONDS'.

How to git-cherry-pick only changes to certain files?

I would just cherry-pick everything, then do this:

How to show two figures using matplotlib?

Alternatively, I would suggest turning interactive on in the beginning and at the very last plot, turn it off. All will show up, but they will not disappear as your program will stay around until you close the figures.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib import interactive

plt.figure(1)
... code to make figure (1)

interactive(True)
plt.show()

plt.figure(2)
... code to make figure (2)

plt.show()

plt.figure(3)
... code to make figure (3)

interactive(False)
plt.show()

Concat scripts in order with Gulp

Try stream-series. It works like merge-stream/event-stream.merge() except that instead of interleaving, it appends to the end. It doesn't require you to specify the object mode like streamqueue, so your code comes out cleaner.

var series = require('stream-series');

gulp.task('minifyInOrder', function() {
    return series(gulp.src('vendor/*'),gulp.src('extra'),gulp.src('house/*'))
        .pipe(concat('a.js'))
        .pipe(uglify())
        .pipe(gulp.dest('dest'))
});

What is the difference between properties and attributes in HTML?

The answers already explain how attributes and properties are handled differently, but I really would like to point out how totally insane this is. Even if it is to some extent the spec.

It is crazy, to have some of the attributes (e.g. id, class, foo, bar) to retain only one kind of value in the DOM, while some attributes (e.g. checked, selected) to retain two values; that is, the value "when it was loaded" and the value of the "dynamic state". (Isn't the DOM supposed to be to represent the state of the document to its full extent?)

It is absolutely essential, that two input fields, e.g. a text and a checkbox behave the very same way. If the text input field does not retain a separate "when it was loaded" value and the "current, dynamic" value, why does the checkbox? If the checkbox does have two values for the checked attribute, why does it not have two for its class and id attributes? If you expect to change the value of a text *input* field, and you expect the DOM (i.e. the "serialized representation") to change, and reflect this change, why on earth would you not expect the same from an input field of type checkbox on the checked attribute?

The differentiation, of "it is a boolean attribute" just does not make any sense to me, or is, at least not a sufficient reason for this.

Add ArrayList to another ArrayList in java

Wouldn't it just be a case of:

ArrayList<ArrayList<String>> outer = new ArrayList<ArrayList<String>>();
ArrayList<String> nodeList = new ArrayList<String>();

// Fill in nodeList here...

outer.add(nodeList);

Repeat as necesary.

This should return you a list in the format you specified.

NameError: name 'python' is not defined

When you run the Windows Command Prompt, and type in python, it starts the Python interpreter.

Typing it again tries to interpret python as a variable, which doesn't exist and thus won't work:

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.

C:\Users\USER>python
Python 2.7.5 (default, May 15 2013, 22:43:36) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> python
Traceback (most recent call last):

NameError: name 'python' is not defined
>>> print("interpreter has started")
interpreter has started
>>> quit() # leave the interpreter, and go back to the command line

C:\Users\USER>

If you're not doing this from the command line, and instead running the Python interpreter (python.exe or IDLE's shell) directly, you are not in the Windows Command Line, and python is interpreted as a variable, which you have not defined.

How to update Git clone

If you want to fetch + merge, run

git pull

if you want simply to fetch :

What do 3 dots next to a parameter type mean in Java?

It means that zero or more String objects (or a single array of them) may be passed as the argument(s) for that method.

See the "Arbitrary Number of Arguments" section here: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/javaOO/arguments.html#varargs

In your example, you could call it as any of the following:

myMethod(); // Likely useless, but possible
myMethod("one", "two", "three");
myMethod("solo");
myMethod(new String[]{"a", "b", "c"});

Important Note: The argument(s) passed in this way is always an array - even if there's just one. Make sure you treat it that way in the method body.

Important Note 2: The argument that gets the ... must be the last in the method signature. So, myMethod(int i, String... strings) is okay, but myMethod(String... strings, int i) is not okay.

Thanks to Vash for the clarifications in his comment.

how concatenate two variables in batch script?

What is the difference between XML and XSD?

XML versus XSD

XML defines the syntax of elements and attributes for structuring data in a well-formed document.

XSD (aka XML Schema), like DTD before, powers the eXtensibility in XML by enabling the user to define the vocabulary and grammar of the elements and attributes in a valid XML document.

Is there possibility of sum of ArrayList without looping

Once is out (March 2014) you'll be able to use streams:

If you have a List<Integer>

int sum = list.stream().mapToInt(Integer::intValue).sum();

If it's an int[]

int sum = IntStream.of(a).sum();

Java/ JUnit - AssertTrue vs AssertFalse

The point is semantics. In assertTrue, you are asserting that the expression is true. If it is not, then it will display the message and the assertion will fail. In assertFalse, you are asserting that an expression evaluates to false. If it is not, then the message is displayed and the assertion fails.

assertTrue (message, value == false) == assertFalse (message, value);

These are functionally the same, but if you are expecting a value to be false then use assertFalse. If you are expecting a value to be true, then use assertTrue.

Content Type text/xml; charset=utf-8 was not supported by service

I was facing the similar issue when using the Channel Factory. it was actually due to wrong Contract specified in the endpoint.

Dealing with "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space" error

App server PermGen errors that happen after multiple deployments are most likely caused by references held by the container into your old apps' classloaders. For example, using a custom log level class will cause references to be held by the app server's classloader. You can detect these inter-classloader leaks by using modern (JDK6+) JVM analysis tools such as jmap and jhat to look at which classes continue to be held in your app, and redesigning or eliminating their use. Usual suspects are databases, loggers, and other base-framework-level libraries.

See Classloader leaks: the dreaded "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space" exception, and especially its followup post.

How to run a script at a certain time on Linux?

The at command exists specifically for this purpose (unlike cron which is intended for scheduling recurring tasks).

Iterating through array - java

If you are using an array (and purely an array), the lookup of "contains" is O(N), because worst case, you must iterate the entire array. Now if the array is sorted you can use a binary search, which reduces the search time to log(N) with the overhead of the sort.

If this is something that is invoked repeatedly, place it in a function:

private boolean inArray(int[] array, int value)
{  
     for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++)
     {
        if (array[i] == value) 
        {
            return true;
        }
     }
    return false;  
}  

How to print GETDATE() in SQL Server with milliseconds in time?

If your SQL Server version supports the function FORMAT you could do it like this:

select format(getdate(), 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.fff')

java.lang.ClassCastException

@Lauren?iu Dascalu's answer explains how / why you get a ClassCastException.

Your exception message looks rather suspicious to me, but it might help you to know that "[Lcom.rsa.authagent.authapi.realmstat.AUTHw" means that the actual type of the object that you were trying to cast was com.rsa.authagent.authapi.realmstat.AUTHw[]; i.e. it was an array object.

Normally, the next steps to solving a problem like this are:

  • examining the stacktrace to figure out which line of which class threw the exception,
  • examining the corresponding source code, to see what the expected type, and
  • tracing back to see where the object with the "wrong" type came from.

How to append data to div using JavaScript?

Using appendChild:

var theDiv = document.getElementById("<ID_OF_THE_DIV>");

theDiv.innerHTML += "<YOUR_CONTENT>"; 

Draw radius around a point in Google map

It seems that the most common method of achieving this is to draw a GPolygon with enough points to simulate a circle. The example you referenced uses this method. This page has a good example - look for the function drawCircle in the source code.

How to reformat JSON in Notepad++?

You can view in Notepad++ no problem now (maybe older versions were bugged?)

for win64: You can find the latest plugin here: https://github.com/kapilratnani/JSON-Viewer/releases . The latest zip file contains a .dll file.

And then follow the github priject README instructions:

  1. Paste the file "NPPJSONViewer.dll" to Notepad++ plugin folder
  2. open a document containing a JSON string
  3. Select JSON fragment and navigate to plugins/JSON Viewer/show JSON Viewer or press "Ctrl+Alt+Shift+J"
  4. Voila!! if the JSON is valid, it will be shown in a Treeview

It should be the same process for win32 but I cannot personally verify it.

How can I remove a substring from a given String?

private static void replaceChar() {
    String str = "hello world";
    final String[] res = Arrays.stream(str.split(""))
            .filter(s -> !s.equalsIgnoreCase("o"))
            .toArray(String[]::new);
    System.out.println(String.join("", res));
}

In case you have some complicated logic to filter the char, just another way instead of replace().

What is the Python equivalent for a case/switch statement?

While the official docs are happy not to provide switch, I have seen a solution using dictionaries.

For example:

# define the function blocks
def zero():
    print "You typed zero.\n"

def sqr():
    print "n is a perfect square\n"

def even():
    print "n is an even number\n"

def prime():
    print "n is a prime number\n"

# map the inputs to the function blocks
options = {0 : zero,
           1 : sqr,
           4 : sqr,
           9 : sqr,
           2 : even,
           3 : prime,
           5 : prime,
           7 : prime,
}

Then the equivalent switch block is invoked:

options[num]()

This begins to fall apart if you heavily depend on fall through.

What does the Visual Studio "Any CPU" target mean?

I think most of the important stuff has been said, but I just thought I'd add one thing: If you compile as Any CPU and run on an x64 platform, then you won't be able to load 32-bit DLL files, because your application wasn't started in WoW64, but those DLL files need to run there.

If you compile as x86, then the x64 system will run your application in WoW64, and you'll be able to load 32-bit DLL files.

So I think you should choose "Any CPU" if your dependencies can run in either environment, but choose x86 if you have 32-bit dependencies. This article from Microsoft explains this a bit:

/CLRIMAGETYPE (Specify Type of CLR Image)

Incidentally, this other Microsoft documentation agrees that x86 is usually a more portable choice:

Choosing x86 is generally the safest configuration for an app package since it will run on nearly every device. On some devices, an app package with the x86 configuration won't run, such as the Xbox or some IoT Core devices. However, for a PC, an x86 package is the safest choice and has the largest reach for device deployment. A substantial portion of Windows 10 devices continue to run the x86 version of Windows.

How to pick just one item from a generator?

For those of you scanning through these answers for a complete working example for Python3... well here ya go:

def numgen():
    x = 1000
    while True:
        x += 1
        yield x

nums = numgen() # because it must be the _same_ generator

for n in range(3):
    numnext = next(nums)
    print(numnext)

This outputs:

1001
1002
1003

Oracle - How to create a materialized view with FAST REFRESH and JOINS

To start with, from the Oracle Database Data Warehousing Guide:

Restrictions on Fast Refresh on Materialized Views with Joins Only

...

  • Rowids of all the tables in the FROM list must appear in the SELECT list of the query.

This means that your statement will need to look something like this:

CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW MV_Test
  NOLOGGING
  CACHE
  BUILD IMMEDIATE 
  REFRESH FAST ON COMMIT 
  AS
    SELECT V.*, P.*, V.ROWID as V_ROWID, P.ROWID as P_ROWID 
    FROM TPM_PROJECTVERSION V,
         TPM_PROJECT P 
    WHERE P.PROJECTID = V.PROJECTID

Another key aspect to note is that your materialized view logs must be created as with rowid.

Below is a functional test scenario:

CREATE TABLE foo(foo NUMBER, CONSTRAINT foo_pk PRIMARY KEY(foo));

CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW LOG ON foo WITH ROWID;

CREATE TABLE bar(foo NUMBER, bar NUMBER, CONSTRAINT bar_pk PRIMARY KEY(foo, bar));

CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW LOG ON bar WITH ROWID;

CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW foo_bar
  NOLOGGING
  CACHE
  BUILD IMMEDIATE
  REFRESH FAST ON COMMIT  AS SELECT foo.foo, 
                                    bar.bar, 
                                    foo.ROWID AS foo_rowid, 
                                    bar.ROWID AS bar_rowid 
                               FROM foo, bar
                              WHERE foo.foo = bar.foo;

QED symbol in latex

As described here, you can redefine the command \qedsymbol, in your case - to \blacksquare:

\renewcommand{\qedsymbol}{\ensuremath{\blacksquare}}

This works both with \qed command and proof environment.

Delete all Duplicate Rows except for One in MySQL?

If you want to keep the row with the lowest id value:

DELETE FROM NAMES
 WHERE id NOT IN (SELECT * 
                    FROM (SELECT MIN(n.id)
                            FROM NAMES n
                        GROUP BY n.name) x)

If you want the id value that is the highest:

DELETE FROM NAMES
 WHERE id NOT IN (SELECT * 
                    FROM (SELECT MAX(n.id)
                            FROM NAMES n
                        GROUP BY n.name) x)

The subquery in a subquery is necessary for MySQL, or you'll get a 1093 error.

Pass object to javascript function

The "braces" are making an object literal, i.e. they create an object. It is one argument.

Example:

function someFunc(arg) {
    alert(arg.foo);
    alert(arg.bar);
}

someFunc({foo: "This", bar: "works!"});

the object can be created beforehand as well:

var someObject = {
    foo: "This", 
    bar: "works!"
};

someFunc(someObject);

I recommend to read the MDN JavaScript Guide - Working with Objects.

How to Animate Addition or Removal of Android ListView Rows

After inserting new row to ListView, I just scroll the ListView to new position.

ListView.smoothScrollToPosition(position);

Extracting the top 5 maximum values in excel

=VLOOKUP(LARGE(A1:A10,ROW()),A1:B10,2,0)

Type this formula in first row of your sheet then drag down till fifth row...

its a simple vlookup, which finds the large value in array (A1:A10), the ROW() function gives the row number (first row = 1, second row =2 and so on) and further is the lookup criteria.

Note: You can replace the ROW() to 1,2,3,4,5 as requried...if you have this formula in other than the 1st row, then make sure you subtract some numbers from the row() to get accurate results.

EDIT: TO check tie results

This is possible, you need to add a helper column to the sheet, here is the link. Do let me know in case things seems to be messy....

Retrieving Data from SQL Using pyodbc

In order to receive actual data stored in the table, you should use one of fetch...() functions or use the cursor as an iterator (i.e. "for row in cursor"...). This is described in the documentation:

cursor.execute("select user_id, user_name from users where user_id < 100")
rows = cursor.fetchall()
for row in rows:
    print row.user_id, row.user_name

How to install pandas from pip on windows cmd?

Since both pip nor python commands are not installed along Python in Windows, you will need to use the Windows alternative py, which is included by default when you installed Python. Then you have the option to specify a general or specific version number after the py command.

C:\> py      -m pip install pandas  %= one of Python on the system =%
C:\> py -2   -m pip install pandas  %= one of Python 2 on the system =%
C:\> py -2.7 -m pip install pandas  %= only for Python 2.7 =%
C:\> py -3   -m pip install pandas  %= one of Python 3 on the system =%
C:\> py -3.6 -m pip install pandas  %= only for Python 3.6 =%

Alternatively, in order to get pip to work without py -m part, you will need to add pip to the PATH environment variable.

C:\> setx PATH "%PATH%;C:\<path\to\python\folder>\Scripts"

Now you can run the following command as expected.

C:\> pip install pandas

Troubleshooting:


Problem:

connection error: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed

Solution:

This is caused by your SSL certificate is unable to verify the host server. You can add pypi.python.org to the trusted host or specify an alternative SSL certificate. For more information, please see this post. (Thanks to Anuj Varshney for suggesting this)

C:\> py -m pip install --trusted-host pypi.python.org pip pandas

Problem:

PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied

Solution:

This is a caused by when you don't permission to modify the Python site-package folders. You can avoid this with one of the following methods:

  • Run Windows Command Prompt as administrator (thanks to DataGirl's suggestion) by:

    1. Windows-Key + R to open run
    2. type in cmd.exe in the search box
    3. CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER
    4. An alternative method for step 1-3 would be to manually locate cmd.exe, right click, then click Run as Administrator.
  • Run pip in user mode by adding --user option when installing with pip. Which typically install the package to the local %APPDATA% Python folder.

C:\> py -m pip install --user pandas
C:\> py -m venv c:\path\to\new\venv
C:\> <path\to\the\new\venv>\Scripts\activate.bat

Capturing mobile phone traffic on Wireshark

In addition to rupello's excellent answer, a "dirty" but very effective trick:

For all phones, any (local) network: Set up your PC to Man-In-The-Middle your mobile device.

Use Ettercap to do ARP spoofing between your mobile device and your router, and all your mobile's traffic will appear in Wireshark. See this tutorial for set-up details

Remove all files in a directory

Another way I've done this:

os.popen('rm -f ./yourdir')

How can I check that two objects have the same set of property names?

If you want to check if both objects have the same properties name, you can do this:

function hasSameProps( obj1, obj2 ) {
  return Object.keys( obj1 ).every( function( prop ) {
    return obj2.hasOwnProperty( prop );
  });
}

var obj1 = { prop1: 'hello', prop2: 'world', prop3: [1,2,3,4,5] },
    obj2 = { prop1: 'hello', prop2: 'world', prop3: [1,2,3,4,5] };

console.log(hasSameProps(obj1, obj2));

In this way you are sure to check only iterable and accessible properties of both the objects.

EDIT - 2013.04.26:

The previous function can be rewritten in the following way:

function hasSameProps( obj1, obj2 ) {
    var obj1Props = Object.keys( obj1 ),
        obj2Props = Object.keys( obj2 );

    if ( obj1Props.length == obj2Props.length ) {
        return obj1Props.every( function( prop ) {
          return obj2Props.indexOf( prop ) >= 0;
        });
    }

    return false;
}

In this way we check that both the objects have the same number of properties (otherwise the objects haven't the same properties, and we must return a logical false) then, if the number matches, we go to check if they have the same properties.

Bonus

A possible enhancement could be to introduce also a type checking to enforce the match on every property.

How do I disable a Pylint warning?

There are several ways to disable warnings & errors from Pylint. Which one to use has to do with how globally or locally you want to apply the disablement -- an important design decision.

Multiple Approaches

  1. In one or more pylintrc files.

This involves more than the ~/.pylintrc file (in your $HOME directory) as described by Chris Morgan. Pylint will search for rc files, with a precedence that values "closer" files more highly:

  • A pylintrc file in the current working directory; or

  • If the current working directory is in a Python module (i.e. it contains an __init__.py file), searching up the hierarchy of Python modules until a pylintrc file is found; or

  • The file named by the environment variable PYLINTRC; or

  • If you have a home directory that isn’t /root:

    • ~/.pylintrc; or

    • ~/.config/pylintrc; or

    • /etc/pylintrc

Note that most of these files are named pylintrc -- only the file in ~ has a leading dot.

To your pylintrc file, add lines to disable specific pylint messages. For example:

[MESSAGES CONTROL]
disable=locally-disabled
  1. Further disables from the pylint command line, as described by Aboo and Cairnarvon. This looks like pylint --disable=bad-builtin. Repeat --disable to suppress additional items.

  2. Further disables from individual Python code lines, as described by Imolit. These look like some statement # pylint: disable=broad-except (extra comment on the end of the original source line) and apply only to the current line. My approach is to always put these on the end of other lines of code so they won't be confused with the block style, see below.

  3. Further disables defined for larger blocks of Python code, up to complete source files.

    • These look like # pragma pylint: disable=bad-whitespace (note the pragma key word).

    • These apply to every line after the pragma. Putting a block of these at the top of a file makes the suppressions apply to the whole file. Putting the same block lower in the file makes them apply only to lines following the block. My approach is to always put these on a line of their own so they won't be confused with the single-line style, see above.

    • When a suppression should only apply within a span of code, use # pragma pylint: enable=bad-whitespace (now using enable not disable) to stop suppressing.

Note that disabling for a single line uses the # pylint syntax while disabling for this line onward uses the # pragma pylint syntax. These are easy to confuse especially when copying & pasting.

Putting It All Together

I usually use a mix of these approaches.

  • I use ~/.pylintrc for absolutely global standards -- very few of these.

  • I use project-level pylintrc at different levels within Python modules when there are project-specific standards. Especially when you're taking in code from another person or team, you may find they use conventions that you don't prefer, but you don't want to rework the code. Keeping the settings at this level helps not spread those practices to other projects.

  • I use the block style pragmas at the top of single source files. I like to turn the pragmas off (stop suppressing messages) in the heat of development even for Pylint standards I don't agree with (like "too few public methods" -- I always get that warning on custom Exception classes) -- but it's helpful to see more / maybe all Pylint messages while you're developing. That way you can find the cases you want to address with single-line pragmas (see below), or just add comments for the next developer to explain why that warning is OK in this case.

  • I leave some of the block-style pragmas enabled even when the code is ready to check in. I try to use few of those, but when it makes sense for the module, it's OK to do as documentation. However I try to leave as few on as possible, preferably none.

  • I use the single-line-comment style to address especially potent errors. For example, if there's a place where it actually makes sense to do except Exception as exc, I put the # pylint: disable=broad-except on that line instead of a more global approach because this is a strange exception and needs to be called out, basically as a form of documentation.


Like everything else in Python, you can act at different levels of indirection. My advice is to think about what belongs at what level so you don't end up with a too-lenient approach to Pylint.

Store images in a MongoDB database

"You should always use GridFS for storing files larger than 16MB" - When should I use GridFS?

MongoDB BSON documents are capped at 16 MB. So if the total size of your array of files is less than that, you may store them directly in your document using the BinData data type.

Videos, images, PDFs, spreadsheets, etc. - it doesn't matter, they are all treated the same. It's up to your application to return an appropriate content type header to display them.

Check out the GridFS documentation for more details.

Double decimal formatting in Java

Using String.format, you can do this:

double price = 52000;
String.format("$%,.2f", price);

Notice the comma which makes this different from @Vincent's answer

Convert Enum to String

Best I can find is this unrelated question on MSDN, which contains an XML snippet that answers this question. Any of these methods share the same flaw: they call enum.toString(), which does not work properly when using Dotfuscation. Other concerns appear to relate to indirect boxing (GetName and Format). Unfortunately, I can't find any performance reasons for using any of the above.

Paraphrasing from the xml snippet,

Passing a boxed enum to string.Format() or any other function can result in enum.ToString() being called. This will cause problems when Dotfuscating. You should not use enum.ToString(), enum.GetNames(), enum.GetName(), enum.Format() or enum.Parse() to convert an enum to a string. Instead, use a switch statement, and also internationalize the names if necessary.

Set The Window Position of an application via command line

Have found that AutoHotKey is very good for window positioning tasks.

Here is an example script. Call it notepad.ahk and then run it from the command line or double click on it.

Run, notepad.exe
WinWait, ahk_class Notepad
WinActivate
WinMove A,, 10, 10, A_ScreenWidth-20, A_ScreenHeight-20

It will start an application (notepad) and then adjust the window size so that it is centered in the window with a 10 pixel border on all sides.

How to activate a specific worksheet in Excel?

I would recommend you to use worksheet's index instead of using worksheet's name, in this way you can also loop through sheets "dynamically"

for i=1 to thisworkbook.sheets.count
 sheets(i).activate
'You can add more code 
with activesheet
 'Code...
end with
next i

It will also, improve performance.

How can I make the cursor turn to the wait cursor?

Actually,

Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor;

temporarily sets the Wait cursor, but doesn’t ensure that the Wait cursor shows until the end of your operation. Other programs or controls within your program can easily reset the cursor back to the default arrow as in fact happens when you move mouse while operation is still running.

A much better way to show the Wait cursor is to set the UseWaitCursor property in a form to true:

form.UseWaitCursor = true;

This will display wait cursor for all controls on the form until you set this property to false. If you want wait cursor to be shown on Application level you should use:

Application.UseWaitCursor = true;

Converting Date and Time To Unix Timestamp

Using a date picker to get date and a time picker I get two variables, this is how I put them together in unixtime format and then pull them out...

let datetime = oDdate+' '+oDtime;
let unixtime = Date.parse(datetime)/1000;
console.log('unixtime:',unixtime);

to prove it:

let milliseconds = unixtime * 1000;
dateObject = new Date(milliseconds);
console.log('dateObject:',dateObject);

enjoy!

How do I view an older version of an SVN file?

I believe the best way to view revisions is to use a program/app that makes it easy for you. I like to use trac : http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracSubversion

It provides a great svn browser and makes it really easy to go back through your revisions.

It may be a little overkill to set this up for one specific revision you want to check, but it could be useful if you're going to do this a lot in the future.

Centos/Linux setting logrotate to maximum file size for all logs

As mentioned by Zeeshan, the logrotate options size, minsize, maxsize are triggers for rotation.

To better explain it. You can run logrotate as often as you like, but unless a threshold is reached such as the filesize being reached or the appropriate time passed, the logs will not be rotated.

The size options do not ensure that your rotated logs are also of the specified size. To get them to be close to the specified size you need to call the logrotate program sufficiently often. This is critical.

For log files that build up very quickly (e.g. in the hundreds of MB a day), unless you want them to be very large you will need to ensure logrotate is called often! this is critical.

Therefore to stop your disk filling up with multi-gigabyte log files you need to ensure logrotate is called often enough, otherwise the log rotation will not work as well as you want.

on Ubuntu, you can easily switch to hourly rotation by moving the script /etc/cron.daily/logrotate to /etc/cron.hourly/logrotate

Or add

*/5 * * * * /etc/cron.daily/logrotate 

To your /etc/crontab file. To run it every 5 minutes.

The size option ignores the daily, weekly, monthly time options. But minsize & maxsize take it into account.

The man page is a little confusing there. Here's my explanation.

minsize rotates only when the file has reached an appropriate size and the set time period has passed. e.g. minsize 50MB + daily If file reaches 50MB before daily time ticked over, it'll keep growing until the next day.

maxsize will rotate when the log reaches a set size or the appropriate time has passed. e.g. maxsize 50MB + daily. If file is 50MB and we're not at the next day yet, the log will be rotated. If the file is only 20MB and we roll over to the next day then the file will be rotated.

size will rotate when the log > size. Regardless of whether hourly/daily/weekly/monthly is specified. So if you have size 100M - it means when your log file is > 100M the log will be rotated if logrotate is run when this condition is true. Once it's rotated, the main log will be 0, and a subsequent run will do nothing.

So in the op's case. Specficially 50MB max I'd use something like the following:

/var/log/logpath/*.log {
    maxsize 50M
    hourly
    missingok
    rotate 8
    compress
    notifempty
    nocreate
}

Which means he'd create 8hrs of logs max. And there would be 8 of them at no more than 50MB each. Since he's saying that he's getting multi gigabytes each day and assuming they build up at a fairly constant rate, and maxsize is used he'll end up with around close to the max reached for each file. So they will be likely close to 50MB each. Given the volume they build, he would need to ensure that logrotate is run often enough to meet the target size.

Since I've put hourly there, we'd need logrotate to be run a minimum of every hour. But since they build up to say 2 gigabytes per day and we want 50MB... assuming a constant rate that's 83MB per hour. So you can imagine if we run logrotate every hour, despite setting maxsize to 50 we'll end up with 83MB log's in that case. So in this instance set the running to every 30 minutes or less should be sufficient.

Ensure logrotate is run every 30 mins.

How to lay out Views in RelativeLayout programmatically?

From what I've been able to piece together, you have to add the view using LayoutParams.

LinearLayout linearLayout = new LinearLayout(this);

RelativeLayout.LayoutParams relativeParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(
        LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
relativeParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_TOP);

parentView.addView(linearLayout, relativeParams);

All credit to sechastain, to relatively position your items programmatically you have to assign ids to them.

TextView tv1 = new TextView(this);
tv1.setId(1);
TextView tv2 = new TextView(this);
tv2.setId(2);

If it is Rails 5, because of new hash notation: params.permit(:name, groundtruth: [:type, coordinates:[]]) will work fine.

Fastest way to get the first object from a queryset in django?

You should use django methods, like exists. Its there for you to use it.

    return qs[0]
return None

Why am I getting this error: No mapping specified for the following EntitySet/AssociationSet - Entity1?

I had the error when I was trying to make a custom result for a stored procedure and assumed it had to be an entity.

The solution was that I just made a complex type in the Model browser and assigned that as a result to the "Edit function imports".

I will add it here since it looks like this question is where google takes you when you get this error.

SQL SERVER: Check if variable is null and then assign statement for Where Clause

Isnull() syntax is built in for this kind of thing.

declare @Int int = null;

declare @Values table ( id int, def varchar(8) )

insert into @Values values (8, 'I am 8');

-- fails
select *
from @Values
where id = @Int

-- works fine
select *
from @Values
where id = isnull(@Int, 8);

For your example keep in mind you can change scope to be yet another where predicate off of a different variable for complex boolean logic. Only caveat is you need to cast it differently if you need to examine for a different data type. So if I add another row but wish to specify int of 8 AND also the reference of text similar to 'repeat' I can do that with a reference again back to the 'isnull' of the first variable yet return an entirely different result data type for a different reference to a different field.

declare @Int int = null;

declare @Values table ( id int, def varchar(16) )

insert into @Values values (8, 'I am 8'), (8, 'I am 8 repeat');

select *
from @Values
where id = isnull(@Int, 8)
and def like isnull(cast(@Int as varchar), '%repeat%')

fetch gives an empty response body

fetch("http://localhost:8988/api", {
        //mode: "no-cors",
        method: "GET",
        headers: {
            "Accept": "application/json"
        }
    })
    .then(response => {
        return response.json();
    })
    .then(data => {
        return data;
    })
    .catch(error => {
        return error;
    });

This works for me.

Laravel Migration table already exists, but I want to add new not the older

go to phpmyadmin and drop the database that you created for laravel then create it again then go to cmd(if use windows) root project and type php artisan migrate

CSS: 100% font size - 100% of what?

My understanding is that when the font is set as follows

body {
  font-size: 100%;
}

the browser will render the font as per the user settings for that browser.

The spec says that % is rendered

relative to parent element's font size

http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS1/#font-size

In this case, I take that to mean what the browser is set to.

Flutter does not find android sdk

I spent a lot of time solving this.

Eventually what worked was going to project settings in android studio, sdk tools, uncheck hide obsolete packages and install sdk tools obsolete package.

Then run flutter doctor --android-licenses and then flutter doctor showed a green tick on my android toolchain.

Hope this helps someone.

Sort array by firstname (alphabetically) in Javascript

Basically you can sort arrays with method sort, but if you want to sort objects then you have to pass function to sort method of array, so I will give you an example using your array

user = [{
bio: "<null>",
email: "[email protected]",
firstname: 'Anna',
id: 318,
"last_avatar": "<null>",
"last_message": "<null>",
lastname: 'Nickson',
nickname: 'anny'
},
{
bio: "<null>",
email: "[email protected]",
firstname: 'Senad',
id: 318,
"last_avatar": "<null>",
"last_message": "<null>",
lastname: 'Nickson',
nickname: 'anny'
},
{
bio: "<null>",
email: "[email protected]",
firstname: 'Muhamed',
id: 318,
"last_avatar": "<null>",
"last_message": "<null>",
lastname: 'Nickson',
nickname: 'anny'
}];

var ar = user.sort(function(a, b)
{
  var nA = a.firstname.toLowerCase();
  var nB = b.firstname.toLowerCase();

  if(nA < nB)
    return -1;
  else if(nA > nB)
    return 1;
 return 0;
});

How do I check if a string contains a specific word?

Another option is to use the strstr() function. Something like:

if (strlen(strstr($haystack,$needle))>0) {
// Needle Found
}

Point to note: The strstr() function is case-sensitive. For a case-insensitive search, use the stristr() function.

VB.net Need Text Box to Only Accept Numbers

I know it's old.. I'll just leave this code here for the sake of convenience.

Integer only:

Public Sub TextBox1_TextChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.TextChanged
   With TextBox1
      If IsNumeric(.Text) Then .Text = .Text.Select(Function(x) If(IsNumeric(x), x, "")) : .SelectionStart = .TextLength
   End With
   ' etc..
End Sub

Accepts Double:

Public Sub TextBox1_TextChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.TextChanged
   With TextBox1
      If IsNumeric(.Text) Then .Text = .Text.Select(Function(x) If(IsNumeric(x) Or x = ".", x, "")) : .SelectionStart = .TextLength
   End With
   ' etc..
End Sub

Accepts basic operations + - * /, parentheses ( ) [ ] { } and Double:

Public Sub TextBox1_TextChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.TextChanged
   With TextBox1
      If IsNumeric(.Text) Then .Text = .Text.Select(Function(x) If(IsNumeric(x) Or ".+-*/()[]{}".Contains(x), x, "")) : .SelectionStart = .TextLength
   End With
   ' etc..
End Sub

How to check if memcache or memcached is installed for PHP?

Use this code to not only check if the memcache extension is enabled, but also whether the daemon is running and able to store and retrieve data successfully:

<?php
if (class_exists('Memcache')) {
    $server = 'localhost';
    if (!empty($_REQUEST['server'])) {
        $server = $_REQUEST['server'];
    }
    $memcache = new Memcache;
    $isMemcacheAvailable = @$memcache->connect($server);

    if ($isMemcacheAvailable) {
        $aData = $memcache->get('data');
        echo '<pre>';
        if ($aData) {
            echo '<h2>Data from Cache:</h2>';
            print_r($aData);
        } else {
            $aData = array(
                'me' => 'you',
                'us' => 'them',
            );
            echo '<h2>Fresh Data:</h2>';
            print_r($aData);
            $memcache->set('data', $aData, 0, 300);
        }
        $aData = $memcache->get('data');
        if ($aData) {
            echo '<h3>Memcache seem to be working fine!</h3>';
        } else {
            echo '<h3>Memcache DOES NOT seem to be working!</h3>';
        }
        echo '</pre>';
    }
}
if (!$isMemcacheAvailable) {
    echo 'Memcache not available';

How to push to History in React Router v4?

According to React Router v4 documentation - Redux Deep Integration session

Deep integration is needed to:

"be able to navigate by dispatching actions"

However, they recommend this approach as an alternative to the "deep integration":

"Rather than dispatching actions to navigate you can pass the history object provided to route components to your actions and navigate with it there."

So you can wrap your component with the withRouter high order component:

export default withRouter(connect(null, { actionCreatorName })(ReactComponent));

which will pass the history API to props. So you can call the action creator passing the history as a param. For example, inside your ReactComponent:

onClick={() => {
  this.props.actionCreatorName(
    this.props.history,
    otherParams
  );
}}

Then, inside your actions/index.js:

export function actionCreatorName(history, param) {
  return dispatch => {
    dispatch({
      type: SOME_ACTION,
      payload: param.data
    });
    history.push("/path");
  };
}

how to define ssh private key for servers fetched by dynamic inventory in files

The best solution I could find for this problem is to specify private key file in ansible.cfg (I usually keep it in the same folder as a playbook):

[defaults]
inventory=ec2.py
vault_password_file = ~/.vault_pass.txt
host_key_checking = False
private_key_file = /Users/eric/.ssh/secret_key_rsa

Though, it still sets private key globally for all hosts in playbook.

Note: You have to specify full path to the key file - ~user/.ssh/some_key_rsa silently ignored.

How to center a label text in WPF?

Days between two dates?

Referencing my comments on other answers. This is how I would work out the difference in days based on 24 hours and calender days. the days attribute works well for 24 hours and the function works best for calendar checks.

from datetime import timedelta, datetime

def cal_days_diff(a,b):

    A = a.replace(hour = 0, minute = 0, second = 0, microsecond = 0)
    B = b.replace(hour = 0, minute = 0, second = 0, microsecond = 0)
    return (A - B).days

if __name__ == '__main__':

    x = datetime(2013, 06, 18, 16, 00)
    y = datetime(2013, 06, 19, 2, 00)

    print (y - x).days          # 0
    print cal_days_diff(y, x)   # 1 

    z = datetime(2013, 06, 20, 2, 00)

    print (z - x).days          # 1
    print cal_days_diff(z, x)   # 2 

How can I test if a letter in a string is uppercase or lowercase using JavaScript?

You could utilize a regular expression test and the toUpperCase method:

String.prototype.charAtIsUpper = function (atpos){
      var chr = this.charAt(atpos);
      return /[A-Z]|[\u0080-\u024F]/.test(chr) && chr === chr.toUpperCase();
};
// usage (note: character position is zero based)
'hi There'.charAtIsUpper(3);      //=> true
'BLUE CURAÇAO'.charAtIsUpper(9);  //=> true
'Hello, World!'.charAtIsUpper(5); //=> false

Convert varchar into datetime in SQL Server

Likely you have bad data that cannot convert. Dates should never be stored in varchar becasue it will allow dates such as ASAP or 02/30/2009. Use the isdate() function on your data to find the records which can't convert.

OK I tested with known good data and still got the message. You need to convert to a different format becasue it does not know if 12302009 is mmddyyyy or ddmmyyyy. The format of yyyymmdd is not ambiguous and SQL Server will convert it correctly

I got this to work:

cast( right(@date,4) + left(@date,4) as datetime)

You will still get an error message though if you have any that are in a non-standard format like '112009' or some text value or a true out of range date.

How to disable Paste (Ctrl+V) with jQuery?

As of JQuery 1.7 you might want to use the on method instead

    });
});

PHP GuzzleHttp. How to make a post request with params?

Since Marco's answer is deprecated, you must use the following syntax (according jasonlfunk's comment) :

$client = new \GuzzleHttp\Client();
$response = $client->request('POST', 'http://www.example.com/user/create', [
    'form_params' => [
        'email' => '[email protected]',
        'name' => 'Test user',
        'password' => 'testpassword',
    ]
]);

Request with POST files

$response = $client->request('POST', 'http://www.example.com/files/post', [
    'multipart' => [
        [
            'name'     => 'file_name',
            'contents' => fopen('/path/to/file', 'r')
        ],
        [
            'name'     => 'csv_header',
            'contents' => 'First Name, Last Name, Username',
            'filename' => 'csv_header.csv'
        ]
    ]
]);

REST verbs usage with params

// PUT
$client->put('http://www.example.com/user/4', [
    'body' => [
        'email' => '[email protected]',
        'name' => 'Test user',
        'password' => 'testpassword',
    ],
    'timeout' => 5
]);

// DELETE
$client->delete('http://www.example.com/user');

Async POST data

Usefull for long server operations.

$client = new \GuzzleHttp\Client();
$promise = $client->requestAsync('POST', 'http://www.example.com/user/create', [
    'form_params' => [
        'email' => '[email protected]',
        'name' => 'Test user',
        'password' => 'testpassword',
    ]
]);
$promise->then(
    function (ResponseInterface $res) {
        echo $res->getStatusCode() . "\n";
    },
    function (RequestException $e) {
        echo $e->getMessage() . "\n";
        echo $e->getRequest()->getMethod();
    }
);

Set headers

According to documentation, you can set headers :

// Set various headers on a request
$client->request('GET', '/get', [
    'headers' => [
        'User-Agent' => 'testing/1.0',
        'Accept'     => 'application/json',
        'X-Foo'      => ['Bar', 'Baz']
    ]
]);

More information for debugging

If you want more details information, you can use debug option like this :

$client = new \GuzzleHttp\Client();
$response = $client->request('POST', 'http://www.example.com/user/create', [
    'form_params' => [
        'email' => '[email protected]',
        'name' => 'Test user',
        'password' => 'testpassword',
    ],
    // If you want more informations during request
    'debug' => true
]);

Documentation is more explicits about new possibilities.

How to create json by JavaScript for loop?

If you want a single JavaScript object such as the following:

{ uniqueIDofSelect: "uniqueID", optionValue: "2" }

(where option 2, "Absent", is the current selection) then the following code should produce it:

  var jsObj = null;
  var status = document.getElementsByName("status")[0];
  for (i = 0, i < status.options.length, ++i) {
     if (options[i].selected ) {
        jsObj = { uniqueIDofSelect: status.id, optionValue: options[i].value };
        break;
     }
  }

If you want an array of all such objects (not just the selected one), use michael's code but swap out status.options[i].text for status.id.

If you want a string that contains a JSON representation of the selected object, use this instead:

  var jsonStr = "";
  var status = document.getElementsByName("status")[0];
  for (i = 0, i < status.options.length, ++i) {
     if (options[i].selected ) {
        jsonStr = '{ '
                  + '"uniqueIDofSelect" : '
                  + '"' + status.id + '"'
                  + ", "
                  + '"optionValue" : '
                  + '"'+ options[i].value + '"'
                  + ' }';
        break;
     }
  }

C++ sorting and keeping track of indexes

You could sort std::pair instead of just ints - first int is original data, second int is original index. Then supply a comparator that only sorts on the first int. Example:

Your problem instance: v = [5 7 8]
New problem instance: v_prime = [<5,0>, <8,1>, <7,2>]

Sort the new problem instance using a comparator like:

typedef std::pair<int,int> mypair;
bool comparator ( const mypair& l, const mypair& r)
   { return l.first < r.first; }
// forgetting the syntax here but intent is clear enough

The result of std::sort on v_prime, using that comparator, should be:

v_prime = [<5,0>, <7,2>, <8,1>]

You can peel out the indices by walking the vector, grabbing .second from each std::pair.

Help needed with Median If in Excel

Expanding on Brian Camire's Answer:

Using =MEDIAN(IF($A$1:$A$6="Airline",$B$1:$B$6,"")) with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER will include blank cells in the calculation. Blank cells will be evaluated as 0 which results in a lower median value. The same is true if using the average funtion. If you don't want to include blank cells in the calculation, use a nested if statement like so:

=MEDIAN(IF($A$1:$A$6="Airline",IF($B$1:$B$6<>"",$B$1:$B$6)))

Don't forget to press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to treat the formula as an "array formula".

Class 'ViewController' has no initializers in swift

Sometimes this error also appears when you have a var or a let that hasn't been intialized.

For example

class ViewController: UIViewController {
    var x: Double
    // or
    var y: String
    // or
    let z: Int
}

Depending on what your variable is supposed to do you might either set that var type as an optional or initialize it with a value like the following

class ViewController: UIViewCOntroller {
    // Set an initial value for the variable
    var x: Double = 0
    // or an optional String
    var y: String?
    // or
    let z: Int = 2
}

How to delete a character from a string using Python

Strings are immutable. But you can convert them to a list, which is mutable, and then convert the list back to a string after you've changed it.

s = "this is a string"

l = list(s)  # convert to list

l[1] = ""    # "delete" letter h (the item actually still exists but is empty)
l[1:2] = []  # really delete letter h (the item is actually removed from the list)
del(l[1])    # another way to delete it

p = l.index("a")  # find position of the letter "a"
del(l[p])         # delete it

s = "".join(l)  # convert back to string

You can also create a new string, as others have shown, by taking everything except the character you want from the existing string.

How to compute precision, recall, accuracy and f1-score for the multiclass case with scikit learn?

Posed question

Responding to the question 'what metric should be used for multi-class classification with imbalanced data': Macro-F1-measure. Macro Precision and Macro Recall can be also used, but they are not so easily interpretable as for binary classificaion, they are already incorporated into F-measure, and excess metrics complicate methods comparison, parameters tuning, and so on.

Micro averaging are sensitive to class imbalance: if your method, for example, works good for the most common labels and totally messes others, micro-averaged metrics show good results.

Weighting averaging isn't well suited for imbalanced data, because it weights by counts of labels. Moreover, it is too hardly interpretable and unpopular: for instance, there is no mention of such an averaging in the following very detailed survey I strongly recommend to look through:

Sokolova, Marina, and Guy Lapalme. "A systematic analysis of performance measures for classification tasks." Information Processing & Management 45.4 (2009): 427-437.

Application-specific question

However, returning to your task, I'd research 2 topics:

  1. metrics commonly used for your specific task - it lets (a) to compare your method with others and understand if you do something wrong, and (b) to not explore this by yourself and reuse someone else's findings;
  2. cost of different errors of your methods - for example, use-case of your application may rely on 4- and 5-star reviewes only - in this case, good metric should count only these 2 labels.

Commonly used metrics. As I can infer after looking through literature, there are 2 main evaluation metrics:

  1. Accuracy, which is used, e.g. in

Yu, April, and Daryl Chang. "Multiclass Sentiment Prediction using Yelp Business."

(link) - note that the authors work with almost the same distribution of ratings, see Figure 5.

Pang, Bo, and Lillian Lee. "Seeing stars: Exploiting class relationships for sentiment categorization with respect to rating scales." Proceedings of the 43rd Annual Meeting on Association for Computational Linguistics. Association for Computational Linguistics, 2005.

(link)

  1. MSE (or, less often, Mean Absolute Error - MAE) - see, for example,

Lee, Moontae, and R. Grafe. "Multiclass sentiment analysis with restaurant reviews." Final Projects from CS N 224 (2010).

(link) - they explore both accuracy and MSE, considering the latter to be better

Pappas, Nikolaos, Rue Marconi, and Andrei Popescu-Belis. "Explaining the Stars: Weighted Multiple-Instance Learning for Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis." Proceedings of the 2014 Conference on Empirical Methods In Natural Language Processing. No. EPFL-CONF-200899. 2014.

(link) - they utilize scikit-learn for evaluation and baseline approaches and state that their code is available; however, I can't find it, so if you need it, write a letter to the authors, the work is pretty new and seems to be written in Python.

Cost of different errors. If you care more about avoiding gross blunders, e.g. assinging 1-star to 5-star review or something like that, look at MSE; if difference matters, but not so much, try MAE, since it doesn't square diff; otherwise stay with Accuracy.

About approaches, not metrics

Try regression approaches, e.g. SVR, since they generally outperforms Multiclass classifiers like SVC or OVA SVM.

This is how I solved the problem of checking for changes in multiple attributes.

attrs = ["street1", "street2", "city", "state", "zipcode"]

if (@user.changed & attrs).any?
  then do something....
end

The changed method returns an array of the attributes changed for that object.

Both @user.changed and attrs are arrays so I can get the intersection (see ary & other ary method). The result of the intersection is an array. By calling any? on the array, I get true if there is at least one intersection.

Also very useful, the changed_attributes method returns a hash of the attributes with their original values and the changes returns a hash of the attributes with their original and new values (in an array).

You can check APIDock for which versions supported these methods.

How to get array keys in Javascript?

If you are doing any kind of array/collection manipulation or inspection I highly recommend using Underscore.js. It's small, well-tested and will save you days/weeks/years of javascript headache. Here is its keys function:

Keys

Retrieve all the names of the object's properties.

_.keys({one : 1, two : 2, three : 3});
=> ["one", "two", "three"]

Java - Convert integer to string

One that I use often:

 Integer.parseInt("1234");

Point is, there are plenty of ways to do this, all equally valid. As to which is most optimum/efficient, you'd have to ask someone else.

Loop over html table and get checked checkboxes (JQuery)

The following code snippet enables/disables a button depending on whether at least one checkbox on the page has been checked.
$('input[type=checkbox]').change(function () {
    $('#test > tbody  tr').each(function () {
        if ($('input[type=checkbox]').is(':checked')) {
            $('#btnexcellSelect').removeAttr('disabled');
        } else {
            $('#btnexcellSelect').attr('disabled', 'disabled');
        }
        if ($(this).is(':checked')){
            console.log( $(this).attr('id'));
         }else{
             console.log($(this).attr('id'));
         }
     });
});

Here is demo in JSFiddle.

How can I troubleshoot Python "Could not find platform independent libraries <prefix>"

I had this issue while using Python installed with sudo make altinstall on Opensuse linux. It seems that the compiled libraries are installed in /usr/local/lib64 but Python is looking for them in /usr/local/lib.

I solved it by creating a dynamic link to the relevant directory in /usr/local/lib

sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib64/python3.8/lib-dynload/ /usr/local/lib/python3.8/lib-dynload

I suspect the better thing to do would be to specify libdir as an argument to configure (at the start of the build process) but I haven't tested it that way.

How to bind list to dataGridView?

Instead of create the new Container class you can use a dataTable.

DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt.Columns.Add("My first column Name");

dt.Rows.Add(new object[] { "Item 1" });
dt.Rows.Add(new object[] { "Item number 2" });
dt.Rows.Add(new object[] { "Item number three" });

myDataGridView.DataSource = dt;

Java heap terminology: young, old and permanent generations?

Memory in SunHotSpot JVM is organized into three generations: young generation, old generation and permanent generation.

  • Young Generation : the newly created objects are allocated to the young gen.
  • Old Generation : If the new object requests for a larger heap space, it gets allocated directly into the old gen. Also objects which have survived a few GC cycles gets promoted to the old gen i.e long lived objects house in old gen.
  • Permanent Generation : The permanent generation holds objects that the JVM finds convenient to have the garbage collector manage, such as objects describing classes and methods, as well as the classes and methods themselves.

FYI: The permanent gen is not considered a part of the Java heap.

How does the three generations interact/relate to each other? Objects(except the large ones) are first allocated to the young generation. If an object remain alive after x no. of garbage collection cycles it gets promoted to the old/tenured gen. Hence we can say that the young gen contains the short lived objects while the old gen contains the objects having a long life. The permanent gen does not interact with the other two generations.

ResultSet exception - before start of result set

Every answer uses .next() or uses .beforeFirst() and then .next(). But why not this:

result.first();

So You just set the pointer to the first record and go from there. It's available since java 1.2 and I just wanted to mention this for anyone whose ResultSet exists of one specific record.

Jersey client: How to add a list as query parameter

How can I set size of a button?

Try with setPreferredSize instead of setSize.

UPDATE: GridLayout take up all space in its container, and BoxLayout seams to take up all the width in its container, so I added some glue-panels that are invisible and just take up space when the user stretches the window. I have just done this horizontally, and not vertically, but you could implement that in the same way if you want it.

Since GridLayout make all cells in the same size, it doesn't matter if they have a specified size. You have to specify a size for its container instead, as I have done.

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class PanelModel {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("Colored Trails");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

        JPanel mainPanel = new JPanel();
        mainPanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(mainPanel, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));

        JPanel firstPanel = new JPanel(new GridLayout(4, 4));
        firstPanel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(4*100, 4*100));
        for (int i=1; i<=4; i++) {
            for (int j=1; j<=4; j++) {
                firstPanel.add(new JButton());
            }
        }

        JPanel firstGluePanel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
        firstGluePanel.add(firstPanel, BorderLayout.WEST);
        firstGluePanel.add(Box.createHorizontalGlue(), BorderLayout.CENTER);
        firstGluePanel.add(Box.createVerticalGlue(), BorderLayout.SOUTH);

        JPanel secondPanel = new JPanel(new GridLayout(13, 5));
        secondPanel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(5*40, 13*40));
        for (int i=1; i<=5; i++) {
            for (int j=1; j<=13; j++) {
                secondPanel.add(new JButton());
            }
        }

        JPanel secondGluePanel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
        secondGluePanel.add(secondPanel, BorderLayout.WEST);
        secondGluePanel.add(Box.createHorizontalGlue(), BorderLayout.CENTER);
        secondGluePanel.add(Box.createVerticalGlue(), BorderLayout.SOUTH);

        mainPanel.add(firstGluePanel);
        mainPanel.add(secondGluePanel);
        frame.getContentPane().add(mainPanel);

        //frame.setSize(400,600);
        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }
}

What is the most efficient way to create HTML elements using jQuery?

Actually, if you're doing $('<div>'), jQuery will also use document.createElement().

(Just take a look at line 117).

There is some function-call overhead, but unless performance is critical (you're creating hundreds [thousands] of elements), there isn't much reason to revert to plain DOM.

Just creating elements for a new webpage is probably a case in which you'll best stick to the jQuery way of doing things.

How to remove gem from Ruby on Rails application?

How to convert a SVG to a PNG with ImageMagick?

If you are on MacOS X and having problems with Imagemagick's convert, you might try reinstalling it with RSVG lib. Using HomeBrew:

How to move child element from one parent to another using jQuery

As Jage's answer removes the element completely, including event handlers and data, I'm adding a simple solution that doesn't do that, thanks to the detach function.

var element = $('#childNode').detach();
$('#parentNode').append(element);

Edit:

Igor Mukhin suggested an even shorter version in the comments below:

$("#childNode").detach().appendTo("#parentNode");

how do I make a single legend for many subplots with matplotlib?

This answer is a complement to @Evert's on the legend position.

My first try on @Evert's solution failed due to overlaps of the legend and the subplot's title.

In fact, the overlaps are caused by fig.tight_layout(), which changes the subplots' layout without considering the figure legend. However, fig.tight_layout() is necessary.

In order to avoid the overlaps, we can tell fig.tight_layout() to leave spaces for the figure's legend by fig.tight_layout(rect=(0,0,1,0.9)).

Description of tight_layout() parameters.

How can I create a "Please Wait, Loading..." animation using jQuery?

This would make the buttons disappear, then an animation of "loading" would appear in their place and finally just display a success message.

$(function(){
    $('#submit').click(function(){
        $('#submit').hide();
        $("#form .buttons").append('<img src="assets/img/loading.gif" alt="Loading..." id="loading" />');
        $.post("sendmail.php",
                {emailFrom: nameVal, subject: subjectVal, message: messageVal},
                function(data){
                    jQuery("#form").slideUp("normal", function() {                 
                        $("#form").before('<h1>Success</h1><p>Your email was sent.</p>');
                    });
                }
        );
    });
});

Are the PUT, DELETE, HEAD, etc methods available in most web browsers?

In Bootstrap 3,How to change the distance between rows in vertical?

UPDATE

Bootstrap 4 has spacing utilities to handle this https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/utilities/spacing/

.mt-0 {
  margin-top: 0 !important;
}

--

ORIGINAL ANSWER

If you are using SASS, this is what I normally do.

$margins: (xs: 0.5rem, sm: 1rem, md: 1.5rem, lg: 2rem, xl: 2.5rem);

@each $name, $value in $margins {
  .margin-top-#{$name} {
    margin-top: $value;
  }

  .margin-bottom-#{$name} {
    margin-bottom: $value;
  }
}

so you can later use margin-top-xs for example

How to get a variable type in Typescript?

For :

abc:number|string;

Use the JavaScript operator typeof:

if (typeof abc === "number") {
    // do something
}

TypeScript understands typeof

This is called a typeguard.

More

For classes you would use instanceof e.g.

class Foo {}
class Bar {} 

// Later
if (fooOrBar instanceof Foo){
  // TypeScript now knows that `fooOrBar` is `Foo`
}

There are also other type guards e.g. in etc https://basarat.gitbooks.io/typescript/content/docs/types/typeGuard.html

How to find the duration of difference between two dates in java?

It worked for me can try with this, hope it will be helpful . Let me know if any concern .

Date startDate = java.util.Calendar.getInstance().getTime(); //set your start time
Date endDate = java.util.Calendar.getInstance().getTime(); // set  your end time

long duration = endDate.getTime() - startDate.getTime();


long diffInSeconds = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(duration);
long diffInMinutes = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(duration);
long diffInHours = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toHours(duration);
long diffInDays = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toDays(duration);

Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Diff"
        + duration + diffInDays + diffInHours + diffInMinutes + diffInSeconds, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); **// Toast message for android .**

System.out.println("Diff" + duration + diffInDays + diffInHours + diffInMinutes + diffInSeconds); **// Print console message for Java .**

R solve:system is exactly singular

I guess your code uses somewhere in the second case a singular matrix (i.e. not invertible), and the solve function needs to invert it. This has nothing to do with the size but with the fact that some of your vectors are (probably) colinear.

Gmail Error :The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.5.1 Authentication Required

I'm a google apps for business subscriber and I spend the last couple hours just dealing with this, even after having all the correct settings (smtp, port, enableSSL, etc). Here's what worked for me and the web sites that were throwing the 5.5.1 error when trying to send an email:

  1. Login to your admin.google.com
  2. Click SECURITY <-- if this isn't visible, then click 'MORE CONTROLS', and add it from the list
  3. Click Basic Settings
  4. Scroll to the bottom of the Basic Settings box, click the link: 'Go to settings for less secure apps'
  5. Select the option #3 : Enforce access to less secure apps for all users (Not Recommended)
  6. Press SAVE at the bottom of the window

After doing this my email forms from the website were working again. Good luck!

The way to check a HDFS directory's size?

Prior to 0.20.203, and officially deprecated in 2.6.0:

hadoop fs -dus [directory]

Since 0.20.203 (dead link) 1.0.4 and still compatible through 2.6.0:

hdfs dfs -du [-s] [-h] URI [URI …]

You can also run hadoop fs -help for more info and specifics.

"&" meaning after variable type

It means you're passing the variable by reference.

In fact, in a declaration of a type, it means reference, just like:

int x = 42;
int& y = x;

declares a reference to x, called y.

.htaccess mod_rewrite - how to exclude directory from rewrite rule

We used the following mod_rewrite rule:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/test/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/my-folder/
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

This redirects (permanently with a 301 redirect) all traffic to the site to http://www.newdomain.com, except requests to resources in the /test and /my-folder directories. We transfer the user to the exact resource they requested by using the (.*) capture group and then including $1 in the new URL. Mind the spaces.

How do I decrease the size of my sql server log file?

  1. Ensure the database's backup mode is set to Simple (see here for an overview of the different modes). This will avoid SQL Server waiting for a transaction log backup before reusing space.

  2. Use dbcc shrinkfile or Management Studio to shrink the log files.

Step #2 will do nothing until the backup mode is set.

How to check if dropdown is disabled?

I was searching for something like this, because I've got to check which of all my selects are disabled.

So I use this:

for (let i = 0; i < select.length; i++) {
    const element = select[i];
    if(element.disabled == true ){
        console.log(element)
    }
}

Is there a label/goto in Python?

I found this in the official python Design and History FAQ.

Why is there no goto?

You can use exceptions to provide a “structured goto” that even works across function calls. Many feel that exceptions can conveniently emulate all reasonable uses of the “go” or “goto” constructs of C, Fortran, and other languages. For example:

class label(Exception): pass  # declare a label

try:
    ...
    if condition: raise label()  # goto label
    ...
except label:  # where to goto
    pass
... 

This doesn’t allow you to jump into the middle of a loop, but that’s usually considered an abuse of goto anyway. Use sparingly.

It's very nice that this is even mentioned in the official FAQ, and that a nice solution sample is provided. I really like python because its community is treating even goto like this ;)

Spring Rest POST Json RequestBody Content type not supported

I had the same issue. Root cause was using custom deserializer without default constructor.

When is null or undefined used in JavaScript?

You get undefined for the various scenarios:

You declare a variable with var but never set it.

var foo; 
alert(foo); //undefined.

You attempt to access a property on an object you've never set.

var foo = {};
alert(foo.bar); //undefined

You attempt to access an argument that was never provided.

function myFunction (foo) {
  alert(foo); //undefined.
}

As cwolves pointed out in a comment on another answer, functions that don't return a value.

function myFunction () {
}
alert(myFunction());//undefined

A null usually has to be intentionally set on a variable or property (see comments for a case in which it can appear without having been set). In addition a null is of type object and undefined is of type undefined.

I should also note that null is valid in JSON but undefined is not:

JSON.parse(undefined); //syntax error
JSON.parse(null); //null

using batch echo with special characters

You can escape shell metacharacters with ^:

echo ^<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?^> > myfile.xml

Note that since echo is a shell built-in it doesn't follow the usual conventions regarding quoting, so just quoting the argument will output the quotes instead of removing them.

Check cell for a specific letter or set of letters

Some options without REGEXMATCH, since you might want to be case insensitive and not want say blast or ablative to trigger a YES. Using comma as the delimiter, as in the OP, and for the moment ignoring the IF condition:

First very similar to @user1598086's answer:

=FIND("bla",A1)

Is case sensitive but returns #VALUE! rather than NO and a number rather than YES (both of which can however be changed to NO/YES respectively).

=SEARCH("bla",A1)  

Case insensitive, so treats Black and black equally. Returns as above.

The former (for the latter equivalent) to indicate whether bla present after the first three characters in A1:

=FIND("bla",A1,4)  

Returns a number for blazer, black but #VALUE! for blazer, blue.

To find Bla only when a complete word on its own (ie between spaces - not at the start or end of a 'sentence'):

=SEARCH(" Bla ",A1) 

Since the return in all cases above is either a number ("found", so YES preferred) or #VALUE! we can use ISERROR to test for #VALUE! within an IF formula, for instance taking the first example above:

 =if(iserror(FIND("bla",A1)),"NO","YES")  

Longer than the regexmatch but the components are easily adjustable.

How to write a basic swap function in Java

Here's a method to swap two variables in java in just one line using bitwise XOR(^) operator.

class Swap
{
   public static void main (String[] args)
   {
      int x = 5, y = 10;
      x = x ^ y ^ (y = x);
      System.out.println("New values of x and y are "+ x + ", " + y);
   }
} 

Output:

New values of x and y are 10, 5

Declare and assign multiple string variables at the same time

All the information is in the existing answers, but I personally wished for a concise summary, so here's an attempt at it; the commands use int variables for brevity, but they apply analogously to any type, including string.

To declare multiple variables and:

  • either: initialize them each:
int i = 0, j = 1; // declare and initialize each; `var` is NOT supported as of C# 8.0
  • or: initialize them all to the same value:
int i, j;    // *declare* first (`var` is NOT supported)
i = j = 42;  // then *initialize* 

// Single-statement alternative that is perhaps visually less obvious:
// Initialize the first variable with the desired value, then use 
// the first variable to initialize the remaining ones.
int i = 42, j = i, k = i;

What doesn't work:

  • You cannot use var in the above statements, because var only works with (a) a declaration that has an initialization value (from which the type can be inferred), and (b), as of C# 8.0, if that declaration is the only one in the statement (otherwise you'll get compilation error error CS0819: Implicitly-typed variables cannot have multiple declarators).

  • Placing an initialization value only after the last variable in a multiple-declarations statement initializes the last variable only:

    int i, j = 1;// initializes *only* j

How to create/read/write JSON files in Qt5

Sadly, many JSON C++ libraries have APIs that are non trivial to use, while JSON was intended to be easy to use.

So I tried jsoncpp from the gSOAP tools on the JSON doc shown in one of the answers above and this is the code generated with jsoncpp to construct a JSON object in C++ which is then written in JSON format to std::cout:

value x(ctx);
x["appDesc"]["description"] = "SomeDescription";
x["appDesc"]["message"] = "SomeMessage";
x["appName"]["description"] = "Home";
x["appName"]["message"] = "Welcome";
x["appName"]["imp"][0] = "awesome";
x["appName"]["imp"][1] = "best";
x["appName"]["imp"][2] = "good";
std::cout << x << std::endl;

and this is the code generated by jsoncpp to parse JSON from std::cin and extract its values (replace USE_VAL as needed):

value x(ctx);
std::cin >> x;
if (x.soap->error)
  exit(EXIT_FAILURE); // error parsing JSON
#define USE_VAL(path, val) std::cout << path << " = " << val << std::endl
if (x.has("appDesc"))
{
  if (x["appDesc"].has("description"))
    USE_VAL("$.appDesc.description", x["appDesc"]["description"]);
  if (x["appDesc"].has("message"))
    USE_VAL("$.appDesc.message", x["appDesc"]["message"]);
}
if (x.has("appName"))
{
  if (x["appName"].has("description"))
    USE_VAL("$.appName.description", x["appName"]["description"]);
  if (x["appName"].has("message"))
    USE_VAL("$.appName.message", x["appName"]["message"]);
  if (x["appName"].has("imp"))
  {
    for (int i2 = 0; i2 < x["appName"]["imp"].size(); i2++)
      USE_VAL("$.appName.imp[]", x["appName"]["imp"][i2]);
  }
}

This code uses the JSON C++ API of gSOAP 2.8.28. I don't expect people to change libraries, but I think this comparison helps to put JSON C++ libraries in perspective.

Save attachments to a folder and rename them

This is my Save Attachments script. You select all the messages that you want the attachments saved from, and it will save a copy there. It also adds text to the message body indicating where the attachment is saved. You could easily change the folder name to include the date, but you would need to make sure the folder existed before starting to save files.

Public Sub SaveAttachments()
Dim objOL As Outlook.Application
Dim objMsg As Outlook.MailItem 'Object
Dim objAttachments As Outlook.Attachments
Dim objSelection As Outlook.Selection
Dim i As Long
Dim lngCount As Long
Dim strFile As String
Dim strFolderpath As String
Dim strDeletedFiles As String

' Get the path to your My Documents folder
strFolderpath = CreateObject("WScript.Shell").SpecialFolders(16)
On Error Resume Next

' Instantiate an Outlook Application object.
Set objOL = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

' Get the collection of selected objects.
Set objSelection = objOL.ActiveExplorer.Selection

' Set the Attachment folder.
strFolderpath = strFolderpath & "\Attachments\"

' Check each selected item for attachments. If attachments exist,
' save them to the strFolderPath folder and strip them from the item.
For Each objMsg In objSelection

    ' This code only strips attachments from mail items.
    ' If objMsg.class=olMail Then
    ' Get the Attachments collection of the item.
    Set objAttachments = objMsg.Attachments
    lngCount = objAttachments.Count
    strDeletedFiles = ""

    If lngCount > 0 Then

        ' We need to use a count down loop for removing items
        ' from a collection. Otherwise, the loop counter gets
        ' confused and only every other item is removed.

        For i = lngCount To 1 Step -1

            ' Save attachment before deleting from item.
            ' Get the file name.
            strFile = objAttachments.Item(i).FileName

            ' Combine with the path to the Temp folder.
            strFile = strFolderpath & strFile

            ' Save the attachment as a file.
            objAttachments.Item(i).SaveAsFile strFile

            ' Delete the attachment.
            objAttachments.Item(i).Delete

            'write the save as path to a string to add to the message
            'check for html and use html tags in link

                strFile & "'>" & strFile & "</a>"
            End If

            'Use the MsgBox command to troubleshoot. Remove it from the final code.
            'MsgBox strDeletedFiles

        Next i

        ' Adds the filename string to the message body and save it
        ' Check for HTML body
        If objMsg.BodyFormat <> olFormatHTML Then
            objMsg.Body = vbCrLf & "The file(s) were saved to " & strDeletedFiles & vbCrLf & objMsg.Body
        Else
            objMsg.HTMLBody = "<p>" & "The file(s) were saved to " & strDeletedFiles & "</p>" & objMsg.HTMLBody

Delegation: EventEmitter or Observable in Angular

Breaking news: I've added another answer that uses an Observable rather than an EventEmitter. I recommend that answer over this one. And actually, using an EventEmitter in a service is bad practice.


Original answer: (don't do this)

Put the EventEmitter into a service, which allows the ObservingComponent to directly subscribe (and unsubscribe) to the event:

import {EventEmitter} from 'angular2/core';

export class NavService {
  navchange: EventEmitter<number> = new EventEmitter();
  constructor() {}
  emit(number) {
    this.navchange.emit(number);
  }
  subscribe(component, callback) {
    // set 'this' to component when callback is called
    return this.navchange.subscribe(data => call.callback(component, data));
  }
}

@Component({
  selector: 'obs-comp',
  template: 'obs component, index: {{index}}'
})
export class ObservingComponent {
  item: number;
  subscription: any;
  constructor(private navService:NavService) {
   this.subscription = this.navService.subscribe(this, this.selectedNavItem);
  }
  selectedNavItem(item: number) {
    console.log('item index changed!', item);
    this.item = item;
  }
  ngOnDestroy() {
    this.subscription.unsubscribe();
  }
}

@Component({
  selector: 'my-nav',
  template:`
    <div class="nav-item" (click)="selectedNavItem(1)">item 1 (click me)</div>
  `,
})
export class Navigation {
  constructor(private navService:NavService) {}
  selectedNavItem(item: number) {
    console.log('selected nav item ' + item);
    this.navService.emit(item);
  }
}

If you try the Plunker, there are a few things I don't like about this approach:

  • ObservingComponent needs to unsubscribe when it is destroyed
  • we have to pass the component to subscribe() so that the proper this is set when the callback is called

Update: An alternative that solves the 2nd bullet is to have the ObservingComponent directly subscribe to the navchange EventEmitter property:

constructor(private navService:NavService) {
   this.subscription = this.navService.navchange.subscribe(data =>
     this.selectedNavItem(data));
}

If we subscribe directly, then we wouldn't need the subscribe() method on the NavService.

To make the NavService slightly more encapsulated, you could add a getNavChangeEmitter() method and use that:

getNavChangeEmitter() { return this.navchange; }  // in NavService

constructor(private navService:NavService) {  // in ObservingComponent
   this.subscription = this.navService.getNavChangeEmitter().subscribe(data =>
     this.selectedNavItem(data));
}

CSS for grabbing cursors (drag & drop)

I may be late, but you can try the following code, which worked for me for Drag and Drop.

.dndclass{
    cursor: url('../images/grab1.png'), auto; 

}

.dndclass:active {
    cursor: url('../images/grabbing1.png'), auto;
}

You can use the images below in the URL above. Make sure it is a PNG transparent image. If not, download one from google.

    -webkit-background-size: cover;
    -o-background-size: cover;
    background-size: cover;
 }

and then, in your .html (or .php) file call this class like that:

<div class="custom_class">
   ...
</div>

Browser detection in JavaScript?

 var isOpera = !!window.opera || navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Opera') >= 0;
        // Opera 8.0+ (UA detection to detect Blink/v8-powered Opera)
        var isFirefox = typeof InstallTrigger !== 'undefined';   // Firefox 1.0+
        var isSafari = Object.prototype.toString.call(window.HTMLElement).indexOf('Constructor') > 0;
        // At least Safari 3+: "[object HTMLElementConstructor]"
        var isChrome = !!window.chrome;                          // Chrome 1+
        var isIE = /*@cc_on!@*/false;

Simulate user input in bash script

You should find the 'expect' command will do what you need it to do. Its widely available. See here for an example : http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2010/10/expect-examples/

(very rough example)

#!/usr/bin/expect
set pass "mysecret"

spawn /usr/bin/passwd

expect "password: "
send "$pass"
expect "password: "
send "$pass"

How can I get the key value in a JSON object?

When you parse the JSON representation, it'll become a JavaScript array of objects.

Because of this, you can use the .length property of the JavaScript array to see how many elements are contained, and use a for loop to enumerate it.

java SSL and cert keystore

you can also mention the path at runtime using -D properties as below

-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/home/user/SSL/my-cacerts 
-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=/home/user/SSL/server_keystore.jks

In my apache spark application, I used to provide the path of certs and keystore using --conf option and extraJavaoptions in spark-submit as below

--conf 'spark.driver.extraJavaOptions= 
-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/home/user/SSL/my-cacerts 
-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=/home/user/SSL/server_keystore.jks' 

How to stop C++ console application from exiting immediately?

Okay I'm guessing you are on Windows using Visual Studio... why? Well because if you are on some sort of Linux OS then you'd probably be running it from the console.

Anyways, you can add crap to the end of your program like others are suggesting, or you can just hit CTRL + F5 (start without debugging) and Visual Studio will leave the console up once complete.

Another option if you want to run the Debug version and not add crap to your code is to open the console window (Start -> Run -> cmd) and navigate to your Debug output directory. Then, just enter the name of your executable and it will run your debug program in the console. You can then use Visual Studio's attach to process or something if you really want to.

Difference between -XX:+UseParallelGC and -XX:+UseParNewGC

Parallel GC

  • XX:+UseParallelGC Use parallel garbage collection for scavenges. (Introduced in 1.4.1)
  • XX:+UseParallelOldGC Use parallel garbage collection for the full collections. Enabling this option automatically sets -XX:+UseParallelGC. (Introduced in 5.0 update 6.)

UseParNewGC

UseParNewGC A parallel version of the young generation copying collector is used with the concurrent collector (i.e. if -XX:+ UseConcMarkSweepGC is used on the command line then the flag UseParNewGC is also set to true if it is not otherwise explicitly set on the command line).

Perhaps the easiest way to understand was combinations of garbage collection algorithms made by Alexey Ragozin

Conclusion:

  1. Apply -XX:+UseParallelGC when you require parallel collection method over YOUNG generation ONLY, (but still) use serial-mark-sweep method as OLD generation collection
  2. Apply -XX:+UseParallelOldGC when you require parallel collection method over YOUNG generation (automatically sets -XX:+UseParallelGC) AND OLD generation collection
  3. Apply -XX:+UseParNewGC & -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC when you require parallel collection method over YOUNG generation AND require CMS method as your collection over OLD generation memory
  4. You can't apply -XX:+UseParallelGC or -XX:+UseParallelOldGC with -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC simultaneously, that's why your require -XX:+UseParNewGC to be paired with CMS otherwise use -XX:+UseSerialGC explicitly OR -XX:-UseParNewGC if you wish to use serial method against young generation
